In a single day at work, how many stories run through your head? Stories about what life is like, what everyone expects of you, what you are capable of or not capable of.
Some of the stories will help you move forward, but others can suck your energy dry and keep you small.
We all tell ourselves stories about how life is meant to be.
It's part of being human.
The stories we learned as kids and then through our life experiences; stories that became the foundations we live by, even to the detriment and harm of our health, our happiness, and our relationships.
But if we are doing ourselves so much harm, can it really be the truth about life? What if there is a different truth just waiting for us to choose that would allow us to live a different life, one where we can thrive in all areas of our lives and succeed in the career we have chosen.
In this refreshingly honest, lets-sit-down-and-chat guide, Joanna serves up personal stories, easy exercises, and a way to identify and work through some of the most common stories we tell ourselves in corporate life, stories that start to dictate how we feel we have to live and how we make our everyday choices.
Because this was the author's life, too.
In 2014, sixteen years into her tax career, Joanna Denton went through her second burnout in five years and decided it was finally time to change her life.
Since then, in her journey back from burnout, Joanna has learned to identify the stories she was telling herself, stories that kept her small and ran her into the ground.
She has learned to challenge and change them, finally moving through them to a life with more joy and fulfilment (but a whole lot less tax).
A life where she has control over her every day choices again.
She wrote this book to share with you some techniques to do that for yourself because you are going through exactly the same thing, aren't you? You're staying small, running yourself into the ground, and letting those stories run your life.
Deep down you know it, even i.
